In recent years, fans have become increasingly sensitive about spoilers. While it's easy enough to understand why people wouldn't want the biggest surprises in movie and TV shows ruined in advance, we've reached a point where some consider casting news or even officially released posters and footage "spoilers."
Regardless, there are those willing to go to extremes to avoid learning of any potential plot twists or cameos in advance, including one fan who is clearly very excited about The Batman.
Posted on the "Am I The Asshole?" page on Reddit, one pregnant DC fan's wife has explained that her due date is March 4. However, her other half has made it clear he needs to see The Batman that day, "because of spoilers and that, even if I end up having the baby that day while he is watching the movie, at worst he would arrived a few hours late and is not such a big deal."
To make matters worse, the guy has told his other half that "[she's] being irrational and emotional because of being pregnant."
We're not sure why he couldn't make it to one of the early IMAX screenings on March 1 (tickets did sell out almost immediately, to be fair) or Thursday evening screenings on March 3. It's possible that's the date this woman is referring to, but either way, it's clear where his priorities lie! The Batman is a movie shrouded in secrecy and there are already rumours of a huge cameo.
The question is, is he the asshole? The general consensus on Reddit appears to be a resounding "yes."
The Batman is set to be released in theaters on March 4.
